About Salesforce

Salesforce is the #1 AI CRM, where humans with agents drive customer success together. Here, ambition meets action. Tech meets trust. And innovation isn’t a buzzword — it’s a way of life. The world of work as we know it is changing and we're looking for Trailblazers who are passionate about bettering business and the world through AI, driving innovation, and keeping Salesforce's core values at the heart of it all.

Ready to level-up your career at the company leading workforce transformation in the agentic era? You’re in the right place! Agentforce is the future of AI, and you are the future of Salesforce.

Role Overview
The Product Owner (PO) is a critical tactical role within our Agile Development team, responsible for the successful delivery of work that generates positive ROI for the business. While the Product Manager sets the high-level vision, the Product Owner transforms that vision into detailed requirements and executes the product roadmap.
You will act as the bridge between business strategy and technical execution. By defining user stories, prioritizing the backlog, and outlining sprint goals, you ensure the delivery team meets both business requirements and user needs. You will not operate in a vacuum; you will collaborate closely with Engineering, Architects, UX, Scrum Leads, and Business Leaders to make informed prioritization and trade-off decisions.

This role will support a CMMC Level 2 compliant Enclave environment, inclusive of several components. This role will participate in and support frequent government audits, compliance training, and support onboarding of new users including general change management duties in addition to tactical product ownership.

Key Responsibilities

• User Advocacy: Represent the user within delivery teams by thoroughly understanding their needs, pain points, and problem statements.
• Business Intimacy: Continually build knowledge through user research, interviews, shadowing, market research, and data analysis.
• Problem Solving: Define business problems with empathy to create the right solutions. Avoid "order taking"; instead, consult with engineering to propose optimized solutions that fit a wide range of business needs (reusable, scalable, user-centric).

Sprint & Delivery Management

• Backlog Management: Define the sprint plan, prioritize the sprint backlog, and adapt to changing circumstances. Ensure the backlog is healthy, organized, and groomed.
• User Story Creation: Break down Epics into User Stories written in the "user’s voice." Ensure they are the smallest possible increment with clear acceptance criteria agreed upon by engineering and architecture.
• Team Focus: Work continuously with delivery teams to focus on completion according to sprint goals. Shield the engineering team from distraction by acting as the main point of contact for users and the business.
• Feedback Loop: Demonstrate new features to business leaders and users, incorporating their feedback into future sprints.

Key Accountabilities
You are accountable for the health and efficiency of the delivery process, including:
• Backlog Health: Maintaining a highly organized backlog where User Stories are well-defined, hierarchical, and linked to Epics.
• Sprint Planning: Creating sprint plans based on team capacity and managing "swaps" if unplanned work must be introduced mid-sprint.
• Feature Alignment: Ensuring feature delivery aligns strictly with the product vision and roadmap.
• Efficiency: Keeping the engineering team productive by preparing clear stories for estimation and maintaining a backlog of ready-to-work items.
• System Maintenance (GUS):

• Security Controls: Ensure all security controls are tested, delivered, and that advisory reviews are requested from Enterprise Security Advisory.
• Sprint Prioritization: Manage the backlog to allow bandwidth for security, privacy, disaster recovery, and data requirement definitions.
• Testing: Complete UAT testing and submit testing evidence during change request approvals.

The Interaction Model: Who You Will Work With

• BPG Product Line Manager: Works with you to prioritize epics and ensure features align with the broader portfolio vision.
• Solution Architect: Aligns with you to design solutions defined by epics and ensures implementation meets non-functional requirements across the value stream.
